Rapid Intake Summaries: Thoughts Are Things QUOTES
Below is where you'll find up to five quotes gathered from each chapter as they are ones that best summarizes the chapter, the ones that are the most notable, or the ones that had the most impact on me while I was reading the book.
Ch01: The Luck Lie
"It's the ability to identify the opportunity, act on it, and apply certain principles in order to maximize it."
“Toiling away in a job you hate isn't likely to drop any spectacular opportunities on your door step, mainly because you're too preoccupied with your dissatisfacton to be able to see them" “Opportunity is always knocking. Start doing the right things in the right order, and you'll start hearing it." Ch02: Overcoming the Obstacles to Action
"To move from idea or thought to action, you have to be committed to the thought, enough to make it a priority."
"One of the primary reasons why some don't take action on their thoughts is that they neglect to change their mind-set into the goal mind-set from the very beginning." "Rather than a general intention to 'lose weight', for example, frame the thought in highly specific, directional terms, such as: 'I want to lose five pounds this month by going to the gym on Monday and Friday each week at 8:00 a.m.'" "When converting thoughts into things, he says, you must think in terms of possibility rather than probability-how the exceptions have done it, not what most people have experienced." Ch03: The Power of Possibility
"Achieving success through the power of thought does not necessarily require an earth-shattering breakthrough"
"First comes thought; then organization of that thought into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination." -Napoleon Hill "The greatest obstacles you will ever face come from making excuses instead of taking action." "Most ideas are stillborn, and need the breath of life injected into them through definite plans of immediate action. The time to nurse an idea is at the time of its birth. Every minute it lives, gives it a better chance of surviving." "Success is not an automatic process. It requires diligence, attention, and the willingness to invest time to perfect your ideas." Ch04: Feeding Your Dreams
"Thoughts can generate monumental energy and produce results that were once perceived to be inconceivable."
"Much of life is the offspring of thought, the events and experiences in our lives create a ripple effect that inspires our actions." "Often, it is not our professional success, but the offspring of that success, that enables us to carry out our larger purpose."   Ch05: Mapping the Transition from Thoughts to Things
"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal." - Napoleon Hill
"Using a map, we can lay out the journey from our starting point to our destination. At any point, we can look at where we've been and how we got where we are today, or set our sights on the future and the places we want to go." "Every adversity, every failure, every heartbreak, carries with in the seed of an equal or greater benefit." - Napoleon Hill "When you can view your failures objectively, you see what a gift they truly are, and you're able to seize them as an opportunity to gain understanding that will improve the likelihood of your future successes." "Each of us must have the ability to perceive this trajectory, weed out those that stifle or redirect our progress, and replace them with thoughts of perseverance, accomplishment, and achievement. This is just as true whether you want to start a business, create a software program, or turn your financial state from one of poverty to one of wealth." Ch06: The Origins of Thought
"Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements." - Napoleon Hill
"Thought alone does not determine success. It's the action taken as a result of that thought that creates real results." "Of course, no matter how clearly you can picture an outcome or how determined you are to make it happen, you will invariably encounter obstacles on the journey from idea to reality." “The challenge is big, but the opportunity is bigger.” - David Neeleman "Motivation and desire are what ultimately determine success and inspire entrepreneurs to generate new goals and take action toward them." Ch07: Effective Emotions
"Positive or negative, your emotions have a significant influence of your outcomes. The stronger the emotion, the greater the influence."
"According to Dave [McInnins], the greater the amount of fear, the bigger the opportunity." "And the more aware and in control of your emotions you are, the more power you have over exactly what their effect will be, and whether it will move you closer to or further away from your goals." "By delighting people, PRWeb went the extra mile not just on occasion, but as part of its standard operating procedure. As a result, the company developed not only a powerful reputation but a strong following of fiercely loyal customers." Ch08: Conquering the Mountain
"There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge." - Napoleon Hill
"It's perfectly okay to 'not do.' It's not okay to say yes and then not do. You are, or are not, your word." -Werner Berger "Such goals require tremendous mental preparation and conditioning the same type of conditioning that one must commit to in order to succeed at any goal." "Just remember that as long as you have a positive attitude and extend that attitude outward, it doesn't matter how you take the next step. The object is to keep moving, one step at a time." Ch09: Silencing the Critics
"Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision not to worry about that other people think, do, or say." - Napoleon Hill
"I just had to decide how I was going to make it happen, and stick to it." - Dr Gladys McGarey "Forgiveness is huge. I need to forgive my self and others so that I can get on with life." - Dr. Gladys McGarey "To her [Dr. Gladys McGarey], it's about taking control of one's own self and embracing the freedom to make the choices that are best for you." "It is your responsibility to nourish your thoughts from infancy, protect them from the external forces that would harm or even destroy them, and bring them to maturity so they can have a magnificent life of their own." Ch10: Three Feet from Gold
"What we do not see, what most of us never suspect of existing, is the silent but irresistible power which comes to the rescue of those who fight on in the face of discouragement." - Napoleon Hill
"Far too many people have never experienced success, simply because they give up too soon." "It was those individuals who were willing to fail as often as necessary that eventually succeeded." "The moment when success seems impossible is precisely when you have to find the inner resolve, strength, and fortitude to keep going. For it is at that moment that you are closer to success than you've ever been." "You have a chance, but only if you keep your dreams alive." - Jack Beim Ch11: Failing to Succeed
"Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat." - Napoleon Hill
"Take the lessons that you learned and try it again." - Nick Evans "It is necessary to acquire the mind-set that failure is acceptable and a vital part of creating ultimate successes." "Fear is a natural part of the success process." Ch12: Leading by Living R.I.C.H.
"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed." - Napoleon Hill
"Equally important to her [Dina Dwyer-Owen] is making a meaningful impact on the lives of others, especially as she endeavors to help others create success in the ownership of their franchises." "If you don't do what you love, it will torture. It should be one those things where it doesn't feel like work." - Dina Dwyer-Owen "Their [the Dwyer Group company] vision is driven by values, not profits, and their business is extremely profitable as a result." "When you live authentically, pursue your passion, and seek to support and enrich the lives of others in the process, those values will ultimately create the material wealth you're seeking." Ch13: From Trauma to Triumph
"Often, the seeds of our greatest triumphs and breakthroughs are planted during our darkest house and most challenging moments."
"Ultimately, Michelle discovered the enormous power in one of the simplest acts of all: asking." "There's no magic bullet. There's no magic pill that you can take to get this to work. I've learned that through time. It's hard work and it's putting forth a hard effort and it's having everthing in it... you have to believe in yourself and believe in what you're doing and believe in your team." - Michelle King Robson "Talk is cheap. If you want to do something, get off your ass and get it done." - Michelle King Robson Ch14: Finding Ideas, Fueling Thoughts
"All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth." - Napoleon Hill
"To Brian Smith, the creator of UGG Boots, the difference between people who have a great idea and let it go and those who run with it and impact the world, comes down to one word: vision." "He's [Brian Smith] seen great ideas transformed into reality and watched as great ideas have been dismissed without any action at all being taken on them." "I believe that for a true entrepreneur, some degree of ignorance is key ingredient for success. If you knew at the time all of the obstacles you're up against, you'd never even start." - Brian Smith Ch15: Setting the Table for Success
"Angel's willingness to bring on others who could fill in his gaps in knowledge, experience, and expertise played a huge role in his ultimate success."
"Hill defined a Master Mind as 'a coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.' " "He [Rob Angel] knew what he didn't know and didn't attempt to go it alone. In acknowledging and accepting what he needed to make his dream come true, then going out and finding those things, he created a team that turned his picture-drawing game into a block-buster commercial success-proof that great ideas can be created by one, but great successes are created by many." "With the right people around you, your thoughts will become things much more quickly and easily, and you, too can create picture-perfect success." Chap 16: The Common Denominator of Success
“Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action." - Napoleon Hill
“One of Napoleon Hill's greatest revelations was the critical importance of finding fulfillment and reward in one's work." "What she [Dr. Myra S. Smith] has discovered is that, despite their varied backgrounds, experiences, and areas of expertise, all of these high achievers have taken a common set of steps or series of actions." "The greatest riches you will ever acquire will come to you via your thoughts the actions you take on them, and the results those actions produce."
